I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra!

Wamweni

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Masters in International Educational Development. I graduated from Stetson University with my BA in 2017, and since then have worked in inner city schools. The last two years, I have taught Algebra and Geometry at a charter high school, while managing a math tutorial program within the school. I find great joy is setting students up for success and helping them achieve the utmost in school. I do not only focus on student academic performance, but also on their social-emotional well-being, so they may attain a positive mindset of their day-to-day learning. I have 10 years experience working with elementary kids, including assisting with homeschooling. However, I am more passionate about helping students understand higher levels of mathematics. I am a believer in quality education, that's why I make sure to create an engaging learning environment for my students.

Matt

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects

I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

Katherine

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am a senior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania studying Finance and Operations & Information Management. I am an Executive Board Member of one of the largest community service groups on campus, the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project, so I have had plenty of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math in the Philadelphia area. Prior to my experience tutoring in Philadelphia, I ran an online writing program teaching essential writing skills to elementary school students and served as an Algebra I instructor at a local community center. I enjoy tutoring math up to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and editing essays (including college essays) because helping students build math foundations that will help them for the rest of their life is rewarding and I greatly enjoy editing essays! I have a very flexible tutoring style - I am approachable and willing to answer any questions related to the material. Hopefully, I can explain things as simply as possible so they stick. Outside of school, I enjoy piano, dancing, visiting museums, art, and discovering new foods and restaurants. Looking forward to tutoring!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Chester's four school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends school in the Chester area or nearby districts, we match them with tutors who understand Pennsylvania's academic standards and can support their specific coursework and learning goals.

Chester students commonly seek tutoring in math, English/language arts, and science—subjects that form the foundation for Pennsylvania state assessments and college readiness. We also work with students on standardized test prep, including the SAT and ACT, as well as support for AP and honors courses.

Pennsylvania's academic standards require strong foundational skills in literacy and numeracy, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to accelerate learning in these critical areas. Tutors work directly with Chester students to fill knowledge gaps, reinforce grade-level concepts, and build the confidence needed to succeed on state assessments and in the classroom.

The first session is a chance for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning needs. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss academic goals, and create a personalized plan to support their progress—whether that's improving grades, preparing for tests, or building stronger foundational skills.

Chester schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of about 14.3:1, which means classroom teachers manage many students with varying needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides dedicated attention focused entirely on your student's pace, learning style, and goals—allowing tutors to adjust instruction in real time and address specific challenges that may be hard to tackle in a group setting.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit different budgets and schedules. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get a personalized quote for Chester-area tutoring.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience working with students at various levels. Tutors are vetted professionals familiar with Pennsylvania's curriculum and academic standards, and they're matched based on your student's specific subject and learning needs.

Communication between tutors, students, and families is key to success. You'll receive regular updates on your student's progress, including areas of improvement, topics covered, and recommendations for continued learning. This keeps everyone aligned on goals and helps ensure tutoring is making a measurable difference.
